Give every new issue a useful starting point
Notis turns an issue into a shortlist of relevant Kaggle data before the research thread gets lost.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
List Kaggle Datasets
Tool to list Kaggle datasets with filters and pagination. Use after authenticating with Kaggle API key.
Why this helps
New issues create open loops, and finding the right data often gets postponed until the context is gone.
- Speed up issue discovery and triage
- Reduce blank-page research
- Keep promising issues from going dormant
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Kaggle to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: When a new GitHub issue is created, search Kaggle for datasets relevant to the issue and summarize the best starting points.
- 3Select the new issue created trigger and choose where Notis should send reports.
- 4Test it with one exploratory issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can it search based on the issue body?
Yes. Notis can interpret the issue title and description as the search context.
What does it return?
It returns a concise shortlist with dataset names, links, and reasons each may help.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Kaggle. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Kaggle actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Download competition data files
Tool to download competition data files. Use after confirming the competition ID.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Initialize Kaggle Configuration
Tool to initialize Kaggle API client configuration. Attempts CLI first; if unavailable, it falls back to creating ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json (or $KAGGLE_CONFIG_DIR/kaggle.json).
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Dataset Create
Tool to create a new Kaggle dataset with full metadata. Use after uploading files and finalizing metadata. Returns creation status and message.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Get Dataset Status
Tool to get the status of a dataset upload or processing job. Use after uploading a dataset to check processing state.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Dataset Version
Tool to create a new dataset version on Kaggle. Use when you have updated files or metadata and need to publish a new version of an existing dataset.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Submit Competition Entry
Tool to submit an entry to a Kaggle competition. Use when you have already uploaded your file and obtained its blob token.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Get Kaggle Config Directory
Tool to retrieve the directory of the Kaggle API configuration file. Use when you need to locate the directory containing your kaggle.json credentials.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Get Kaggle Config File
Tool to retrieve the filename of the Kaggle API configuration file. Use when you need to find out where the local Kaggle config file is stored before reading or updating.
